I scored some sliding parallels from Mary Ann's Dad, he used to build the robots that made Ford cars
and we were going through his tools and I was gaining a lot of swag:bigsmile:
any how, as soon as I saw these
my light bulb lit up
a simple thing, why did I not think of it before
Solved a problem I have had for a long time
Set up is now just a few seconds, happy days
Finally finishing off a Cadenzia fixie which will have Dura Ace on it
oh and it fits me
every time I make a new fixie for myself it is sold before I ride it
any how
I want to try out the XL tubes and the PegoEllyn Cadenzia lugs
you know the tubes, the XL ones that don't plan because they are too stiff....................................:wacko:

Re: Friday PicFest No.86
First post here, nothing much to show except some experiments with carbon. Working with uni-directional prepreg, making head tubes and BB shells, making test joints etc. I've been building with steel at a hobby level for 10+ years.

This bag failed during cure (melted). Will try with higher temp Strechlon 350 material.

Messy wrapping and poor compression at the fillets due to bag failure.
